World's Wonder View Tower

World's Wonder View Tower A historic roadside attraction on the Eastern Plains that has been a museum, cafe and gas station. to 5 p.m. Troy McCue

After a major restoration, the Tower will be open from 10 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays through Labor Day, then Saturdays in September. America’s highways were once speckled with what has come to be known as roadside architecture- buildings and resources that catered specifically to travelers exploring the country with the newfound freedom of the automobile. While this architecture often included din

ers, motels and filling stations, unique roadside attractions became popular places for travelers to stop. The World’s Wonder View Tower stands as a lasting vestige of this unusual and distinct architecture that has intrigued tourists traveling across Colorado’s Eastern Plains along Interstate 70 and Highway 24 near Genoa for nearly a century. "The long history of the Genoa Wonder Tower transcends 5 generations of local and visiting families appreciating the spectacular views of Pikes Peak, and being entertained by the oddities and antiques that largely originated from the plains tribes of Native Americans and early pioneer settlers. This unique grouping of cultural assets was long-remembered as one of the leading roadside attractions, especially typical of the two-lane US highway system, taking its place among icons along Route 66. Although it is actually Route 24, the Genoa Wonder Tower is in no way diminished in its importance or standing in our rural county."

Before Charles Gregory and Myrtle LeBow started building a Tower outside of Genoa in 1930, they'd opened a roadhouse/gas station/cafe in a complex of stone buildings (below left). What was that spot called when it opened in 1926?

Onward and Upward!
This summer, the World's Wonder View Tower is celebrating its 100th anniversary. Ten years ago this week, five friends banded together to buy the Tower, with the goal of ensuring that this legendary landmark on Colorado's Eastern Plains will continue to delight locals and tourists alike for another generation. The Tower is now under the watchful eye of the Friends of the Genoa Tower Inc., a nonprofit dedicated to its preservation that's very thankful for all of those who have supported this project. Come up and see us sometime!
